Public accountability has long been a guiding principle for Michigan
hospitals, and they recognize the need for public pricing and quality
information to assist consumers in making more informed healthcare decisions.
This is a voluntary effort by Michigan hospitals to help consumers become
more empowered in their decision-making regarding their personal health.

The MHA Keystone: Obstetrics (OB) Workshop will be held from
8 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 14 at the Dearborn Inn. Participants
will experience didactic and interactive sessions with topics
including preeclampsia, postpartum hemorrhage, multidisciplinary
plans of care, and patient and family engagement.

Additionally,
in collaboration with Kaiser Permanente and the National Patient
Safety Foundation, a small-group simulation session will be
held from noon to 4 p.m. April 13 at the Henry Ford Simulation
Center. More information can be found in the workshop
brochure. Register
online or contact Tammy
Nault for assistance.

The
MHA Patient
Safety & Quality Symposium offers an opportunity to explore
innovative patient safety techniques and dialogue with others about
how to enhance patient safety across the continuum. Learn new strategies
and ideas from faculty who are game-changes in the healthcare and business
world.

Michigan hospitals and the MHA Keystone Center are committed to including
patients and families in improving care and focusing improvement efforts
with a patient-centric approach. To that end, the MHA Keystone Center
is a proud Pinwheel Sponsor of the Institute for Patient- and Family-Centered
Care.
